About Melinda

Experience: 5 yrs

Hello! I have two grown children. During their education I was an assistant Girl Scout leader and a reading program helper. They are both musically educated and one is currently in college. At one time I was CPR certified and though it has been several years I would be willing to be re-certified. I have a BS in Biochem, part of a MBA. read music fluently, am experienced with all pets, dogs, cats, horses, fish, reptiles, birds. I can cook and do light housework, multitask to include errands, lesson transportation, help with all levels of homework. I enjoy puzzles, board games, walks, reading, swimming and more. My children loved all the local museums. I am also very experienced with severe asthma and ADD. I also am capable of elder care as I lived with and cared for my father during his 2 years in hospice. I have my own transportation, no record of any sort, and I do not drink, smoke or drug at all. I am extremely reliable and very kind and patient. Thank you for your consideration.

I have known Melinda for more than twenty years. In that time, she has been a personal coach/encourager, pet caregiver, house sitter, childcare provider, transportation provider, and assisted with home management. In addition to what she has done for me, I watched her give tender loving end of life care to both her parents, while raising her two children and managing their home. She pays close attention to detail when giving care to people and animals, assesses what needs to be done and does it. She is a woman of action and concern, and would be an asset to anyone who hires her.
